Sixth. The First ward delegates were
William A. Corr. John Connell and John J.
White. Jr.. and the Sixth ward, James P. Judge.
D. A. Hewlett, and Edward Brannigan. TWAS
claimed by Mr.. Judge that the Sixth ward.
owing to It's vast preponderance in its Demo-
cratic vote over the first. was entitled to two OF
the three delegates TO the State Convention.

motion was lost BY vote of to
